“Wild salmon run in cold northern seas and offer omega-3 fatty acids, which have beneficial properties. Wild salmon have no added chemicals, antibiotics, preservatives, growth hormones, or GMOs. According to Alaska’s Department of Health and Social Services, wild fish with lower levels of mercury include wild Alaska salmon, black cod, herring, and sardines. Alaskan salmon run in the purest waters and have the cleanest runs on the planet. Alaskas wild salmon’s levels of mercury are low, but pregnant women should research consumption guidelines. Although wild Alaska salmon may be more expensive than farm-raised salmon, the health benefits of wild Alaskan salmon far outweigh the cost.

Is farm-raised salmon safe to eat? Maybe, maybe not. Aquaculture is the practice of raising fish in pens for human consumption. With problems that resemble those associated with factory farming, fish farms present multiple health dangers. While some people think that fish farming helps to preserve fish that are threatened or endangered, people do not know that fish farming does not protect wild fish and is its own threat to the environment.

Farmed fish are fed growth hormones, antibiotics amd other drugs to control diseases that result from fish being too close together in fish pens. These diseases spread to wild fish beyond the pens and wipe out wild fish populations. Farm-raised salmon does not taste as good or look as healthy as wild salmon. When shopping for salmon, avoid salmon sold as “Atlantic Salmon,” which are farm-raised and full of toxins.”
